Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Baked Protein Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Vegetable Oil [Peanut, Cottonseed, Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Sunflower Seed]): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum Salt): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
